Abstract

The potential of spray forming for microstructural refining can be attractive to the production of superal-loys. A #200 mm spray formed FGH95 superalloy round billet that was produced using a single atomizer has considerably homogeneous, small, equiaxed grains. The measured oxygen content is 2 × 10−5, and the measured porosity is only 0. 6%. The achieved yield of deposit is in a good range of about 73. 6%. The microstructure and tensile properties of nickel-based spray formed FGH95 superalloy are analyzed. Also, effects of heat treatment on microstructure were discussed. The results show that the spray formed FGH95 superalloy has higher isotropy in tensile property due to its γ′ phase homogeneous distribution and less defects in the microstructure. Regarding processing procedures, the different heat treatment processes affect the microstructure and γ′ phase homogeneous distribution of spray formed FGH95 superalloy.
